Why Is There a Bump on the Bottom of My Foot?
A bump on the bottom of your foot can result from a variety of causes, including common warts and calluses, dyshidrotic eczema, cysts, and deformities caused by diabetic nerve damage. These conditions are often painful and interfere with walking. Treatment will vary depending on the underlying cause.
What Causes Pain in the Ball of Your Foot and What Helps?
Metatarsalgia refers to pain in the ball of your foot, the area of the forefoot just below the top of the metatarsal bones in your big toe. Most people feel this sharp pain in the space between their big toe and the arch of the foot.
Signs of Overpronation in Feet
Overpronation occurs when the foot and ankle roll too far inward when you walk. This movement strains the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your feet and legs. As a result, you develop pain, limited movement, and many conditions like shin splints, sprained ankles, and plantar fasciitis.
Common Causes of Numbness in Your Feet
Numbness in your feet can develop due to nerve compression, nerve damage, or poor circulation. Additionally, an underlying condition that affects blood flow—like diabetes or sciatica—can cause numbness, pain, tingling, or burning in your feet.
Everything you need to know about ankle injuries
Runners are, unfortunately, often prone to ankle injuries. But despite despite how many people suffer from sore ankles or ankle pain after running, it doesn't get the same attention as other common ailments like runner's knee or IT band syndrome. Ankles remain a rather neglected body part – at least until the problem becomes unmanageable or pain levels too high to tolerate.
